by Rush University Medical Center Neutralization of p402 and p40 increases levels of IFN-γ in pancreatic cancer cells. Immunohistochemical analysis at 60× magnification of PANC-1 (A) and BxPC-3 cells (B) treated with p40 homodimer or p40 monomer were labeled with IFN-γ (red). DAPI was used to stain the nuclei. Cells positive for IFN-γ were counted and...
